pants for him
on your way home
Again?
Yes. Cheap ones will do
More?
No, don't.
Your loose tummy won't get well
More?
Good. Good. It's so quiet.
Don't talk
How long will it last?
Say, "Good-bye."
Good morning. You're early.
Kozo's coming
Kozo. Kozo
Good morning. That's a nice scarf
Did you have a fight with Minoru?
No, I didn't
I'm going
What happened? It's funny
Such strange children
What's the matter?
What's up?
The children from across
don't even say hi
What about it?
But they both looked at me
and didn't say a word
Is Mrs. Hayashi still mad at me
about yesterday?
Yesterday?
About the dues
No. Those things happen
It's Grandmother's fault
She didn't tell me
If I hadn't asked her,
she might have taken it
I wouldn't!
Everyone forgets
I don't. Not important things
You do forget! I know
What? What did I forget?
The gas bill I paid
That's all! You do too!
lgnoring your faults!
Stop it, stop it!
Stop it now!
I'm going
Saying you don't forget!
Forgetting to pay me back!
Always yakking
Why did I have a daughter like her?
Good morning
Good morning.
Your husband's left?
Listen
She's funny
Lingerie woman?
She's impossible too.
Mrs. Hayashi
-What?
-I was late with the dues
So she tells everyone I bought
a washer with it
She did? That's awful
Yes. I went over to complain
And she apologized
It was settled
But she's still mad.
She told her kids too
This morning I spoke to them
but they ignored me
I couldn't do it
I see! ls she like that?
Yes. I'm surprised at her
I wouldn't have thought it of her
Be careful. She holds grudges
I see. Maybe she does
Should I return the beer
I owe her?
You borrowed some?
You were out of it
That night? You better hurry
and return it
Yes. I'm glad you told me
Good morning
Excuse me.
-Oh, hello
I forgot all about the beer
I borrowed the other day
There's no hurry to return it
And the bus ticket
you paid for me
It's all right.
-No, I must return it
Excuse me
Mrs. Tomizawa. Are you in?
Mrs. Okubo's here
Welcome
Ifyou've borrowed something
from Mrs. Hayashi
return it.
-Why?
She holds grudges
about small things
No. I've borrowed a lot in the past
But she does I was told
I'm surprised too
She seems educated
but one can never tell
Maybe so
Our cat stole her dried fish.
Should I return it?
Yes, you should!
-I see
I did too. A load off my mind!
You understand the game?
Begin with the last letter
Crow-worm-moon
Next?
Akita
Moonlight Mask Man
No, it has to begin with an "N"
Shimizu
Suzunosuke
No, no. The letter "N"
Hayashi
What begins with "N"?
There are lots ofthem,
aren't there?
What's the matter?
Is anything wrong? The lavatory?
What's that?
What is it?
What?
Read it. Read it for me
Speak up. You can read it
You know the words
Stand there
That's all
Don't forget to bring
your lunch money tomorrow
Don't forget
Bring your lunch money tomorrow
Understand?
Raise your hand ifyou do
What about our lunch money?
Can I tell Mother?
No! Don't talk!
What will we do?
How long can they keep it up?
Ignoring them is best.
It's the rebellious period
So much like their father in funny ways
What?
So very stubborn
They took afteryou
That's not true
I wonder
What is it?
What is it?
-What is it?
What do you think?
I wonder. Any idea?
No
What is it?
A building? A big house?
The Federal building?
A temple? A hospital?
No?
Oh, school?
School? What about school?
It's on fire?
Not a fire? It's not a fire?
Drink tea? Then what?
Drink tea, then eat?
Money? It's money?
The firemen put out the fire,
you gave them tea and you paid them
What?
-What is it?
Do you know?
No, I don't. What is it about?
What is it?
I wonder
He's good
Sure. He works
for the gas company
Minoru's good too
but now he won't talk
Not even at school
Why won't you talk?
It's pretty inconvenient, right?
What's the matter?
Did you make a vow?
What is it?
Fools
Still eating pumice powder?
